I Don't Know, I Forgot
Video/2-Channel Video Installation, 2015
Festival Cut TRT: 3:55
Installation Cut: 20:00 looping
I Don’t Know, I Forgot is a video performance that contemplates the intergenerational transference and loss of language and communication. As a reaction to the vicariousness of diasporic memory produced through the fissures of language, I Don’t Know, I Forgot is both a humorous and serious take on the temporal effects of exclusion, assimilation and the attempt to remember what we do not know.
Installation: 2-Channel looping video installation with each of the two faces on TV displays separated a distance apart from each other. The language spoken and attempted is Cantonese.
